Winter sports in the Tannheim Valley

In the Tannheimer Tal, cross-country skiing hearts beat faster: A whole 140 kilometres of trails are groomed here. This is particularly impressive when you consider that the Tannheim Valley is only 16 kilometres long! Thanks to short distances and access points in all the villages in the valley, you can concentrate fully on the sport and the wintry Alpine landscape. The excellent infrastructure with ski schools, ski rentals and ski bus directly from the hotel to the cross-country ski trail entrance makes a big contribution to the perfect cross-country skiing experience.

For alpine skiers there are 6 ski areas to choose from in the Tannheimer Tal. However, if you are looking for a big skiing hype, you are wrong here: At Neunerküpfle, Füssener Jöchle, Nesselwängle and Co. it is more relaxed. The easy-to-follow ski areas are particularly suitable for families, but sporty skiers will also find some challenging runs. Ski tourers feel particularly at home in the Tannheimer Tal, as there is a wide choice of possible ascent routes and downhill runs.

For those looking for peace and relaxation, winter hiking (for example to the picturesque Vilsalpsee) or snowshoeing through the unspoilt winter landscape is the best option. Families with children should definitely not miss out on a tobogganing tour!

Hiking and mountaineering in the Tannheim Valley

From the Haldensee to the Krinnenspitze by Sandra
February 13, 2023 · Community
Im Aufstieg Karawanen auf die Sulzspitze. Ab der Abzweigung dann Alleingang. Wunderschön. Schattig, was aber für längere Gute Bedingungen spricht. Der Gipfelanstieg war dann ziemlich abgeblasen, aber gute Spur vorhanden. Am Gipfel war dann doch was los, da die meisten über die Piste aufsteigen. Zum Abfahren findet man schon ne Möglichkeit, ohne seine Ski zu ruinieren. Allerdings würde ich nicht über die Aufstiegspur Abfahren, sondern dann auf die Piste queren. Der Aufstieg durch den Wald ist doch sehr schmal und hat nicht unbedingt Spaßfaktor. Am Haldensee kann man den schneebedeckten Wanderweg/ Loipe zum Parkplatz zurückskaten

Schneeschuh-Rundwanderung zur Alpe Stubental by Marco
January 29, 2023 · Community
Das ist eine tolle Tour und wir waren sehr dankbar für den Vorschlag. Der Parkplatz am Start der Tour ist sehr klein. Wir haben keinen Platz mehr bekommen und sind daher von Jungholz aus gestartet und dementsprechend erst einmal bergab gegangen. Auch schön. Der Aufstieg (ab Parkplatz) war erst gemütlich und wurde später sehr steil, so dass ich diese Tour keinesfalls als konditionell leicht einstufen würde. Ich hatte diese Tour entsprechend der Bewertung für einen Anfänger ausgewählt, dem ich das "Schneeschuhgehen" näher bringen wollte. Das sehr steile Stück hat dabei nicht geholfen!. Dennoch, tolle Tour und die Einkehr auf der Alpe (Sonntags mit Musik) war klasse. Aussicht und Erlebnis, voll Punktzahl. Schwierigkeit des Geländes (leicht) aber konditionell "mittel".
